elkin
I love the name 'Elkin'. I came across it while reading a Belgian cartoon. It is a boys' name. I figure its meaning is 'belonging to God' or 'kin to God', but cannot find anything about the name anywhere. Anybody know more?

Hello Nicole,
Elkin is a form of the Hebrew name Elkan (I found some other forms: Elkana, Elkanah, Elkins). The meaning according "35,000 baby names" by Bruce Lansky is "God is jealous" - but I'm not sure if that's right because in this book are MANY mistakes concerning right meanings or origins... :-(
Hope this helps...?

My name is Elkin, and I'm still undecided as to wether I enjoy it, as it is very unusual. It is popular in the region of Colombia whee my parents are from, and I've seent the same meaning as Satu described
